Arthritis-friendly tools let you cook and eat with less grip strength and less pain. We scored each on six factors to land on a best overall, a best value, and an electric pick for very weak grip. 

BEST OVERALL 

**92**/100 SMART SCORE

### OXO Good Grips Jar Opener (w/ Base Pad)

Best for: arthritis-friendly everyday grip and leverage

Our top pick. It opens jars with leverage rather than hand strength, and the non-slip base pad holds the jar steady so you can use an open-palm grip. Comfortable, stable, and genuinely practical day to day.

\+ Works without finger strength

\+ Strong leverage

\+ Non-slip base pad

\+ Highly rated

– Still needs one steady hand

BEST VALUE 

**91**/100 SMART SCORE

### OXO Good Grips Peeler & Utensils

Best for: low-cost everyday prep with sore or weak hands

The best value. The Good Grips line is built for minimal grip strength, with thick cushioned handles you can use with an open palm. An inexpensive way to make peeling, stirring, and serving far easier on arthritic hands.

\+ Cushioned open-palm handles

\+ Very affordable

\+ Dishwasher-safe

\+ Highly rated

– Manual effort still required

BEST FOR WEAK GRIP 

**77**/100 SMART SCORE

### Robo Twist Electric Jar Opener

Best for: very weak grip or one-handed use

\+ Fully automatic, one button

\+ No twisting effort

\+ Handles tight factory seals

– Needs batteries

– Bulkier to store

– Pricier than manual
